Recent Operational Highlights

• Reimbursement rates proposed by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (“CMS”) as part of the Proposed Medicare Physician Fee Schedule for Calendar Year 2023 that impact Zio XT for CPT codes 93247 and 93243

• 510(k) FDA clearance granted for clinically integrated ZEUS system for the Zio® Watch, developed in partnership with Verily as clinical grade watch to detect and characterize atrial fibrillation and integrate with clinician workflow

• Recent additions to the executive leadership team reflective of company's commitment to driving sustainable value and significant growth across multiple pillars

• iRhythm to hold investor day on September 21, 2022, in New York City, with content to incorporate key elements of long-term business strategy, details of stated growth vectors and long-range financial targets

"We made steady progress in the second quarter, out-performing revenue expectations and delivering another quarter of record registrations in our core U.S. business, fueled by an all-time high number of new accounts doing business with us," said iRhythm CEO and President, Quentin Blackford. "New account openings were up 22% quarter-over-quarter and revenue volumes increased 10% sequentially, underscoring our solid performance amidst a difficult market environment. With business highlights regarding reimbursement and our Zio Watch clearance already announced in July, we are pleased with the way that the second half of 2022 has begun."

“We also rounded out our executive leadership team with recent additions that position us well to advance our long-term strategies for sustainable growth in our core U.S. market, expand into greater international geographies and enter adjacent markets. The sizable opportunity ahead of us to bring our innovative technology platform powered by data-driven artificial intelligence to patients, clinicians, healthcare systems and payers gets us excited every day. We look forward to sharing more details on this vision at an investor day during the third quarter," concluded Mr. Blackford.

Second Quarter Financial Results
Revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2022 increased 25.6% to $102.1 million, from $81.3 million during the same period in 2021. The increase was primarily driven by Zio XT and AT volume growth and increases in Medicare pricing.

Gross profit for the second quarter of 2022 was $70.2 million, up 26.9% from $55.3 million during the same period in 2021, while gross margins were 68.8%, up from 68.0% during the same period in 2021. The increase in gross profit was primarily due to increased volume and average selling price, partially offset by increases in cost per unit.

Operating expenses for the second quarter of 2022 were $93.7 million, compared to $72.3 million for the same period in 2021 and $110.3 million in the first quarter 2022. The sequential decrease in operating expenses was due to the absence of one-time impairment and restructuring charges incurred in the first quarter 2022, associated primarily with a reduction in size of our San Francisco facility and severance and other employee exit related costs.

Net loss for the second quarter of 2022 was $23.9 million, or a loss of $0.80 per share, compared with net loss of $17.4 million, or a loss of $0.59 per share, for the same period in 2021.

Cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments were $204.5 million as of June 30, 2022.

Guidance
iRhythm projects revenue for the full year 2022 to range from $415 million to $420 million, which represents 29% to 30% growth over prior year results. Gross margin for the full year 2022 is expected to range from 68% to 69% and adjusted operating expenses are expected to range between $375 million and $385 million. Adjusted EBITDA for the full year 2022 is expected to range from negative $12.5 million to negative $17.5 million.
